Rosalind Franklin was my first cousin and one my life's main regrets is that I never met this brilliant and beautiful lady. She discovered the Single DNA Helix in 1953, then it was taken by Wilkins without her knowledge or agreeement.

briln.Optics. A unit of subjective luminance; 100 brils is the luminance level that corresponds to a luminance of 1 millilambert, and a doubling of luminance level corresponds to an increase of 1 bril.

I thought the rules were change one letter? Since the post started with a 4 letter word, and is now at 5, then adding a letter must be okay, which means subtracting one should be okay too.

Edit: I looked back through the list, and found out the game was restarted with a 5 letter word. Still, it seems to me that adding or subtracting a letter should be okay, because the subtle point of this game is that sometimes random changes can result in something functional. This is the theory behind random mutation and evolution, and one of those possible changes is addition or deletion of a base to the host DNA. But if the rules do not allow addition or subtraction of a letter, no problem.
